 Hello  @vanQ 

When the error occurs, confirm phone has good internet status, connect to home wifi network, or using mobile data .

Turn off VPNon the phone if there is any. 

If ' Alexa' failed to authorize the tp-link account, here are some tips to give it try: 

What should I do if I cannot make Tapo smart devices (smart plug, smart camera, smart lighting) work with Alexa or Google Home

You could also try a different phone to authorize the account. 

Try to enableTapo Skill from Amazon web page  https://alexa.amazon.com

If the concern persists despite the above step, can I have a photo of error message, your TP-Link ID ( please share via private message)

Thank you. Was able to connect alexa already the other way around via Tapo App instead of amazon alexa app. There waa an option to add 3rd party device on Tapo app and it works by logging in alexa credentials
